It's time to meet the legend that is Bruce Joffe. You may well know him from his sometimes controversial, but always well-meaning posts, in the Pure Portugal podcast. Now you can hear about his Portuguese adventure and get to know him and his story a little better.

In conversation with Bruce in his ex-cafe, front room, we found out how he and partner Russ came to be in Portugal, rather than Spain. We learn about why they - the 'Crazy Americans' - chose the Castelo Branco area, and the village of Lousa in particular.

Unsurprisingly, Bruce shares his opinions on both Spanish and Portuguese culture, and talks about his forthcoming book - 'Expat: Leaving the USA for Good'.

To conclude, Reverend and Doctor Joffe, no less, shares his hard-won wisdom about how to settle in and embrace Portuguese life.

Find Bruce on Facebook! Connect with him in the group and make a note that he's a Pure Portugal 'Concierge' too, at your service...
